I'm no expert at all on taking shots like this but I'm struck by two things. 1 You get a lot more colour out of FP4+ than I ever can ;-) and seriously 2 Did the moon photo get taken with a moving camera? I know were often moved emotionally by our Leicas but I think you know what I mean. I'd have thought that with Tech Pan, especially, the moon would have moved across the negative during the image and blurred the picture. I did take a picture of the moon once but it was nowhere near as good as this (even though my stock was even slower - perversely a 5ASA 35mm line film!) and the only time I pointed a telephoto lens at the sun (it was behind a cloud at the time) it burnt a hole in my shutter blind after I went to make a cup of tea!

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VIEW THE SUN DIRECTLY WITHOUT CORRECT EQUIPMENT.
